Advances in diagnostics of respiratory viruses and insight in clinical implications of rhinovirus infections

Rijn-Klink, A.L. van (2020)

Doctoral Thesis

The research described in this thesis aimed to evaluate several new diagnostic approaches to viral respiratory infections. In addition, relevant patient cohorts were specifically tested for rhinovirus, including subtyping, to increase our insight in the clinical implications of rhinovirus infections, the most prevalent respiratory pathogens.
